A Visual Presentation of How the Springboks Put an End to the New Zealand All-Blacks Winning Streak [GIFs]

Sports fans love streaks. We love a quarterback that can throw a touchdown pass in 50 consecutive games, a pitcher that can throw 35 scoreless innings, a batter that hits in 57 straight games, and a boxer that knocks one fool out after another. We love seeing that kind of domination because it means we get to see the best of the best be what they are. It also means one other thing.

We get to see them fall.

Last Saturday the rugby world bore witness to the end of the 22-game undefeated streak for the New Zealand All-Blacks.

If you watched the game than you know how epic the contest was. If you didn't take a look at these GIFs and you can get an idea of just how awesome the game. Not every big play is here, but many of the best ones are.

Congratulations Springboks (they are the guys in the green for the non-rugby fans). Don't sweat it All-Blacks (they are wearing--you guessed it--all black). Time to start another streak.
